Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce wins 100 meters at World Championships

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce hopes her win in the 100 meters final at the World Championships in Moscow can inspire the next generation of Jamaican sprinters.

Fraser-Pryce clocked a time of 10.71 seconds to finish clear of Muriel Ahoure (10.93) of the Ivory Coast, while American defending champion Carmelita Jeter (10.94) finished third.

The 26-year-old's emphatic victory on Monday sealed the men's and women's 100 meters double for Jamaica after Usain Bolt won the men's final 24 hours earlier.

The dual victories are a timely boost for the Jamaican team following the recent doping bans handed to stars Asafa Powell and Veronica Campbell-Brown.

"I think Usain and I were at local high school championships at the same time and that generation that has come up now has done tremendously well and I think when young Jamaicans back home see us perform the way we do, it gives them fire to do the things we do," Fraser-Pryce said.

"If you come to a local championship on a good day I will win but on an off day they will whip me because there are very talented young people in Jamaica.

"And they continue to work and feed off the energy that we give them and seeing us perform the way we do gives them a lot of confidence to go out and work."

The two-time Olympic gold medalist credited her coach and support staff following her convincing win.

"It could have gone better but I am just thankful and excited at the same time that I did what I did," she said of her performance.

"It was hard work and lots of commitment and having the right support because as an athlete we are the only ones out there running, but it is crucial to have that support system.

"The person that gives you confidence when you need it the most, and I am so honoured to have a fantastic coach and team.

"Today was all about me executing and I knew if I executed then I would be good and that is what I was focused on.

"I wasn't focused on anything else, not even winning."

Meanwhile, Christine Ohuruogu was delighted to become the first British woman to win two World Championship titles when she took out the 400 meters to repeat her success from 2007 in Osaka.

The 29-year-old also broke Kathy Cooke's long-standing British record by 0.02 seconds as she beat Amantle Montsho in a photo finish.

Ohuruogu admitted she had no idea she had won when she crossed the line.

"I ran my hardest to the line and I felt like I was tightening up, I felt tired and I just thought keep going, right through and I crossed the line and the screen was blank and I thought 'oh dear,' " Ohuruogu said.

"I knew it was close and I thought even if I have come second I have come close enough, I know it isn't really the best attitude but when you have done everything you could what more could you do?

"The line has gone now so you just stand and hope for the best, I heard the crowd screaming and I looked up and there was nothing there and I thought 'do I want to turn round, I don't want to', I think I saw my name.

"Amantle was coming towards me asking who won and I said I think it was me and I think I won that. I don't think she believed it."
